How do you disable the daytime running lights on a 1995 Chevy beretta?

You can't disable the daytime running lights (DRLs) on a 1995 Chevy Beretta by a simple switch or fuse pull. Unlike some later vehicles, the 1995 Beretta's DRL system is integrated into the car's electrical system and isn't a separately controllable feature. The headlights are used as the DRLs, simply at reduced intensity.

To effectively disable them, you'd need to modify the car's wiring, which is not recommended unless you're experienced with automotive electrical systems. Incorrect wiring can lead to other electrical issues, including potentially causing damage to the car's electrical system or even a fire.

Instead of trying to disable them, consider these alternatives:

* Live with them: Daytime running lights are a safety feature designed to improve visibility. While they might be inconvenient in some situations, the safety benefits outweigh the drawbacks for most drivers.

* Use your parking lights: If you're concerned about the brightness of the DRLs, using your parking lights instead may provide a dimmer alternative. Remember that parking lights alone might not provide the same level of visibility as DRLs.

In short: Modifying the wiring to disable the DRLs is complex and potentially dangerous. It's best to leave the system as-is or explore alternative solutions. If you're uncomfortable working with automotive electrical systems, consult a qualified mechanic.
